Last day in FW

I took Darla out this morning and it was frigid!!! It was like Ottawa weather moved in.
I wonder if all the plants survived the -6 temperature.  It is warming up to 6 but this is cold with a wind.   Very appropos for me!!   I am heading to the land of ice and snow.
I am supposed to get into Ottawa after midnight and I am going through LaGuardia in NYC and they are having a snowstorm right now. I could not get a boarding pass for the next stage of my trip when I tried.   So probably another adventure is in store for me.

Cassi has a two hour practical  exam today so she studied with the team yesterday at school and today is the day.   She says one has to focus every minute.  So I wish her the best of luck and good good brain waves today.
I said good bye to Lu and he knows I  coming back in several weeks.

I think I need some luck too to get home in one day.

\Post script - Welcome home... to the land of snow and ice!!

Tuesday and Wednesday were Ho Hum days and today I went birding - Thursday February 21,

Image
Tuesday and Wednesday were busy days with taking Lu to school and picking him up and some shopping in between.  I kept my eyes out and even Lu helped to look at birds in the neighbourhood.  Lu has his binocs and I had mine and he would spot something and I would look too.  It was fun and he enjoyed it also.  We did this from the front room windows. I like it because it reminds me how big the moon was that night.  I could not take a photo that was not blurred.  I heard from my Fort Worth Audubon friends that this coming weekend there was a weekend birding trip at Caddo Lake Wildlife Preserve (near the Louisiana border).  It was all booked full, but my friend said to contact the organizer just in case there was a cancellation.  So I sent an email off on Monday and that same day I got word that there was a cancellation and the person on the wait list could not go and so I am going instead.  There were a couple of things I needed to pick u...

Sunday March 3, 2019 - A windy chilly day here!

Image
It was about 4 degrees here today and there was a brisk wind.  I went out with Darla this morning as usual and I thought, gosh this is cold. When I went out later in the morning I first went to get my coffee at MacD's. Well it is time to pack it in, give away the suitcases and stay home!!!  I got out of the car at MacD's and starting walking across the parking lot and realized I was still wearing my SLIPPERs!!    By then it was the point of no return, I was near the restaurant door!   I was internally killing myself laughing.  Now these are sort of slip-ons and they are floral but at least the pattern is navy mostly.  But they are what they are, slippers.  No fooling anyone.  Needless to say I got my coffee and left.  After I stopped by Cassi's to get into the proper footwear and the only pair of shoes I brought with me, I headed out at again.  Laughing at myself. When the kids were out yesterday they said they saw an owl ...

Sunday February 17,2019 - to Dallas and the Dallas World Aquarium with the kids

Image
It was a cool day, but much better than yesterday with its cool wind.   The sun came out around noon and everything warmed up and it was pleasant. We had a stop at the donut shop with decadent donuts for Matt and myself and really nice Gluten Free Donuts for Lu.   Cassi was not feeling well this morning and passed on the donuts.   Lu ate his two donuts on the way to Dallas.  I should have taken photos of the donuts.  They were works of art. We arrived at the Aquarium and it was packed already but we got to see the Sloth and the fish and the fish tunnel and the Giant Otter and the Ocelot and the Flamingoes and the owls and the South American birds.  There is so much to see there.  We got to see the highlights.  Lu has his checklist of the spots he wants to visit.  After this we went to a late lunch at the Dallas Farmers`Market building.  This time we went Indian and had Mango Lassis and Indian food.  It was delici...
